Diversity of didactical approaches to foster diversity of engineers

Europe and USA have a specific focus on high technology and engineering services. In this case both accept the diversity argument; research and industry need to create teams made up of members of different backgrounds, ages and sexes to come close to future issues and today's markets. This means a strong link to engineering education and a continuous change of experiences in engineering education research. This is the issue of the workshop which invites the participants along with three keynotes to think about new perspectives of diversity in engineering education. The results of all research run in the last 20 years may be focused on the question: which were successful in integrating the different gender and diversity background of students to foster engineers?
